The "New Mesmerism"
Taken from Scientific American
February 25, 1893
Within the past few months most wonderful tales have appeared from
time to time in the daily press concerning certain mesmeric
performances in the Paris hospitals.
It was gravely stated that Dr. Luys, of La Charite' Hospital, had
obtained such a development of hypnotic suggestion as to bring about
a transference of sensibility to inanimate objects.
For example, a person in the hypnotic state would receive a
suggestion that a glass of water was part of himself and was capable
of sensation. Then the glass would be taken out of his sight, and
when the contained water was agitated the patient would be visibly
disturbed or even give evidence of acute suffering.
Other inanimate ob ects were capable of receiving like impressions,
and there was apparent danger that this "externalization of the
sensations," as it was called, would come to be regarded as an
accepted fact by not a few prominent scientific men with more
imagination and credulity than sound common sense.
Mr. Ernest Hart, when in Paris recently, had his attention drawn to
these seemingly astounding manifestations of occult force, and was
so impressed with what he saw that he determined to seek out the
cause.
It took him but a very short time to see that the subjects of these
hypnotic experiments were impudent impostors, and that Dr. Luys was
the victim of gross fraud.
He suggested to the doctor the employment of certain simple tests,
such as the substitution of inert substances for the drugs in sealed
tubes which were supposed to act upon the subjects when brought near
the body.
Dr. Luys, however, declined to act upon this suggestion, saying that
he could perform the experiments only in his own way, and if they
failed to convince he could only express his regret.

Mr. Hart then procured the attendance of five of these subjects in
his own apartments and repeated the experiments in the presence of a
number of Parisian and foreign medical men.
The same phenomena, he says, in a communication to the London
Times, "were produced with sham magnets, with substituted figures,
with misnamed medicinal substances, and with distilled water, and
with sham 'suggestion,' opposite suggestion, or none at all.
Every one was able to convince himself that all the results so shown
were, without exception, simulated, fictitious, and fraudulent.
That some of the patients were hypnotic and hysterical in a high
degree does not alter the fact that from beginning to end they all
showed themselves to be tricksters of the most barefaced kind; some
of them very clever actors, possessing dramatic powers which might
have been turned to better purposes, most of them utterly venal and
some of them confessing that they played upon the credulity of Dr.
Luys for their own purposes."
It is strange to think that men of scientific medical training can
be so thoroughly duped in this closing decade of the nineteenth
century, and we may well pause to ask ourselves whether, after all,
the world is any less credulous that it was in the good old days of
witchcraft and diabolism.
There may be a greater number of hard-headed skeptics abroad, but a
large portion of mankind is still hungry for the incomprehensible
and the supernatural, and as religious faith wanes superstition
seems but to take a firmer hold on certain minds.

Vangard Notes...
This most interesting article caught our attention while we
were going through some very old SCIENTIFIC AMERICANS at a flea
market. Needless to say, we bought about $50 worth to add to
our collection.
As to hypnosis, there are several interesting phenomena which
don't seem to be generally known. One is SYNESTHESIA, the
confusion or blending of senses. Another is something called
NEGATIVE HALLUCINATIONS.
The above article seems to be related to SYNESTHESIA since the
senses are extended to establish a "rapport" with an inanimate
object.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
SYNESTHESIA
John W. Keely, namesake of KeelyNet from which this file comes,
said that a "cerebellic field" could be established which would
allow the operator to establish a "sympathetic attendant."
Now the cerebellic field pretty much speaks for itself but what
of this sympathetic attendant?
Page 2
Keely says it can best be described as an extension of the
NERVOUS SYSTEM to allow some mysterious blending of our psyche
and subsequent mental control to that of anything to which this
attendant had been established. (see VEDA1.ASC or .ZIP for
information on the Krell Helmet)
Of course, as a baby must map its environment and learn how to
control its appendages under mental direction, so must the
operator or experimenter in such fields as this learn to
"influence" the object.
Not only must the rapport be established, but the correct
signals must be learned to enable intelligent control.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
NEGATIVE HALLUCINATIONS
In our researches into mesmerism and hypnotic phenomena, we
came across a story from a book on "EXPERIMENTAL HYPNOTISM."
A hypnotist was invited to a party (ostensibly as a guest),
the same as how pickup owners have "lots of friends."
At the party, someone brings up that the guy is a hynotist, so
they coerce him into doing some party tricks. After the
standard fare, they decide to try a "post-hypnotic suggestion."
A woman is selected and placed under hypnosis. She is given
the suggestion that on awakening, she will continue as if
nothing happened. However, when the hypnotist snaps his
fingers, she will be unable to see her boyfriend.
While the woman is under, the boyfriend leaves the room. On
awakening the woman, she resumes her conversations with other
people with the crowd discretely observing her actions. She
showed no unusual patterns, even when the hypnotist snapped his
fingers.
The boyfriend was cued to enter the room. When he did so, he
had one hand behind his back.
The woman looked up and over toward the doorway where her
boyfriend stood. She was obviously surprised and seeing
something. Everyone thought the experiment a failure since she
obviously was seeing her boyfriend.
When asked what she saw, the woman replied, "Don't you see that
rose FLOATING IN THE AIR?"
The boyfriend had decided to suprise her with a rose, this
totally unbeknownst to anyone in the room.
The woman, under the post-hypnotic command that she could not
see her boyfriend, SAW COMPLETELY THROUGH HIM, A ROSE
"SUSPENDED" IN THE AIR!
Of course, the hypnotist and crowd were amazed at this
unexpected turn of events.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
This little experiment offers some fascinating possibilities.
I told the story to Vendyl Jones (the researcher looking for
the Ashes of the Red Heifer and the Ark of the Covenant in
Israel) as a possible means of "seeing" through earth.
He was intrigued but of course, the effect must be duplicated
and proven before trying it in the field.
How about if you were hunting for lost treasure? Could you not
see the earth as "glass"?
In coincidence with this phenomenon, could we not "tune" the
thoughts to the "signature" of a SPECIFIC ITEM FOR WHICH WE
WERE LOOKING?, which would now be the object to which the body
would "home".
Not to mention the applications to crime resolution by remote
viewing or viewing of past events "psychometry". From there we
can go into prediction and a host of other areas.
